 Ellie Goulding's "Lights"

•  The album cover for Ellie Goulding’s “lights” is similar to the poster  - which looks almost like a stretched image of the album cover, so that it can fit inside a magazine. This also leaves additional space where the details of the album can be seen. 
• Because the image has a dark background, this allows a fading technique to be used so that  the bottom half of the image is completely black meaning the white text over the top can be seen more clearly. 

Colour scheme: Black, Gold, White
Typography: Gold, as her name suggests. letters the same size throughout the text. Capital lettering used to emphasize the name.

•  The album cover and the magazine advert used shared image, promoting continuity in production and marketing, making it more recognisable by an audience. Difference being that the Magazine is a mid-long shot, and the album cover is a close up. This is partially because there is more space to play with given an avert is bigger, but also because there is more text on an advert, this means that the focus of the image is not lost or confused by any typography on the poster. 
• The oasis logo is on both covers, creating an artist motif 
• Unlike many other posters, the main image does not contain any band member. This is because Oasis are so globally recognised; therefore their image is not necessarily needed in order to promote the band.

Colour scheme: Black, blue, white 
Typography: Gold, as her name suggests. letters the same size throughout the text.
